Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase!
The AirStation High Power Dual A & G Wireless Smart Router provides two separate wireless
networks at the same time, one on the 802.11g standard 2.4Ghz frequency and another on the
802.11a standard 5Ghz (5.2-5.3Ghz) frequency.
When your PC or other wireless client device surveys for wireless networks, there will be two to
choose from. One will have a network name ending with the letter ‘a’, the other with the letter ‘g’.
If you do not have a Dual A & G client card or client device, then you will only see the network
that your card is compatible with. If you do have a combo card, Buffalo recommends you select
the network with less trafc (usually the 11a network) for best performance.
See the AirStation User Manual (available on your AirNavigator CD) for more information on this
product.

Step 1: Connect Your Equipment
1. Attach the antenna to the top of your AirStation. It
will usually work best if congured to point straight up.
Attach the stand if desired.
2. Ensure that all equipment is powered off, including
the AirStation, PCs, and your cable or DSL modem.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable from your cable or DSL
modem to the WAN port on your AirStation. The WAN
port is the port closest to the power connector. This is
the only port that will work for your internet connection.
4. Connect a PC or workstation to any of the four LAN
ports on the AirStation with the included Ethernet cable.
5. Power on the cable or DSL modem. Allow at least a
minute for the device to boot up.
6. Connect the AC power connector to the power port
on the AirStation and to an AC surge protector or other
source of AC power. Allow the AirStation one minute to
boot.
7. Power on the PC(s) connected to the LAN ports of the
AirStation and let them boot up completely.

Step 2: Congure Your Router
Next, you need to congure your router. This is done from a web browser on a computer
connected to the router. Using a computer that is connected directly to the AirStation with an
Ethernet cable is recommended.
1. Launch the web browser on the computer that you’re going to use to congure the AirStation.
NOTE: The computer used to congure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address
automatically from a DHCP server. This is the default Windows setting.
2. Your web browser should automatically attempt to load a web page. If the default web page
loads then the AirStation has automatically congured your Internet connection settings. You
are now connected to the internet! Please turn to page 5.
3. If the AirStation cannot automatically congure itself for
your Internet Connection, then a window will open, prompting
you to enter a User ID and Password.
NOTE: If your web browser doesn’t automatically connect you
to the AirStation Conguration Utility, then type 192.168.11.1
in its address eld and press Enter on your keyboard. Logon
details are as follows:
User name: root
Password: Leave this eld blank
4. The AirStation will provide different conguration options depending on what it has auto-
detected. Please enter specic connection information as necessary.
